The buying power of the current wage adjustments is being dissipated by the series of previous and present extraordinary increases in the prices of basic commodities and cost of services and have no impact in lifting the lives of workers from worsening poverty caused by the pandemic crisis, TUCP President Raymond C. Mendoza said.
